Nice find on the Grind Stormer. I have been looking for that one for awhile.

Yeah. It had been up there for about a month and a half for 10 bucks but i saw it there for 2 and I couldnt pass it up.

Grrrrr... I spent several hours and went to TONS of places today (including at least 20 garage sales and 3 Goodwills  and two random resale shops among other places) and this is all I have to show for it.  I wish more people would get rid of video games around my area, because as a kid I can't use Ebay for everything... and that means that my source of new stuff has essentially dried up.  It doesn't help that half the time I find stuff it's incomplete in bad ways.  I almost bought Gran Turismo 2 but then I checked and the second disc was missing.

2 original Game Boys (one with manual) - $10
Dr. Mario - GB - cart only - free! (was in one of the GBs)
Myst - PC/Win - unsure if it's complete or not - $2 (finally I can play this.  I've had the Mac version for literally a decade but the family Mac was too weak to play it, and Mac emulators crash too much on my computer)
Solar Striker - GB - cart only - $2

Either I hope I have better luck next time, or I have to figure out a way to buy online more often and get good deals that way...

PS. The most interesting this I saw today a cart of Alien vs. Predator for the Jaguar (I've never seen a Jag cart before today... those things are weird shaped!), but I passed it over because I don't have a Jag nor do I plan on getting one because it doesn't have tons of good games.  Was it worth anything?

Might you be willing to part with one of them gameboys?

Nice price for the GB's by the way.

Well, I would have been fine with trading one off or something (because I had to buy both) but my brother expressed interest in the second one so I let him have it.  And I'm keeping mine because I need a replacement for my Game Boy Pocket which is in bad condition and is too small for my hands.

Also, I sorta had what I guess you could call some finds today... I was digging through a drawer full of stuff and I found manuals for all 4 of my Game Gear games.  I thought that my stupid 8-year-old self threw them out years ago!  Also I will be obtaining a copy of Pokemon Yellow later today. I have owned it for several years and it's been sitting in my house for that long as well.  The only reason it's a new find?  I've picked up a battery for it, so I'll finally be able to play it again.

Nice price on the Star Ocean game. I saw it about a month ago for €20 but passed.

nice finds crabmaster

[Crabmaster2000]

The only downside is that there is a price sticker on the Star Ocean cardboard part. I havnt decided if I want to risk removing it or not yet because it doesnt seem to be stuck on very well.

Gamestop has buy two, get one free on GB/GBC games.  I picked up Pokemon Pinball ($3), Pokemon Puzzle Challenge ($3), and Dragon Warrior Monsters 2 Cobi's Journey ($5).

W/ 10% off, I got them for around 2.40 each.

[Mr. Ksoft]

Any idea how long that buy two get one free offer's going on?  If it's still going on Sunday then I might have to stop at GameStop because my recent Gameboy find has made me interested in the GB again.

That could be tough. That box has a sort of mat finish on it, which can make removing stickers a dangerous proposition.

That's great Pokemon Pinball was so much fun when I was younger; don't have the game myself though
